<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Semper fidelis"--Latin for "always faithful"--is both the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps and the inspiration for this totally new approach to corporate leadership written by two former Marines who take the best leadership tactics used by the Corps and translate them to a corporate environment.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For more than 200 years, the U.S. Marine Corps has been a paragon of world-class leadership, excelling in the areas of motivation, training, and management. Semper Fi -- which since its hardcover publication has become a best-selling, business leadership classic -- shows readers how to adapt these proven practices for their own organizations. Semper Fi goes behind the scenes to pinpoint what works for the USMC, showing readers how to create a training and management culture that brings out the best in all their employees. The book gives readers tough, practical tips for: * inspiring individual initiative * rewarding hard work * encouraging loyalty * working with limited resources * dealing with change * leading the troops at every level of the organization. This is not, according to Dan Rather, one of those mumbo-jumbo, pseudo-philosophical books on leadership. Semper Fi is a book you will actually USE, read, and refer to again and again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P> ..".an easily readable conversational style" <P> --World Trade<br><br><P> "As a former marine officer myself, I encourage each reader to both read and practice the messages presented." <P> --Louisville Courier-Journal<br><br><P> "The book reads crisply, and is rich in anecdotal references both to the Marines and to corporate America...
